Chapter 301: Chapter 301

Ji Rui pushed the shopping cart and followed Le Tong around. In just a short while, the cart was filled with a whole bunch of items specifically for Baobao to eat, use, and wear.

Looking at that pile of items, Ji Rui couldn’t help but feel perplexed.

Logically speaking, Le Tong had been with Baobao for more than half a year. Previously, she occasionally bought gifts or items for Baobao, but not much. Most of the time, she made food for Baobao.

But now, why was she suddenly going crazy buying so many things for Baobao?

Little did he know, previously Le Tong’s love for Baobao was cautiously hidden and concealed. She was afraid that if she showed too much, Ji Rui, as the father, would notice something was amiss. So, even when she bought things for Baobao, she carefully kept it at the level of a close friend.

Now it’s different. Since Ji Rui already knows she’s Baobao’s biological mother, and he even promised personally that he wouldn’t let Baobao leave her anymore, it means she can express her love for Baobao freely and openly.

The longing and pent-up emotions and thoughts she had for Baobao over these years burst out like a volcanic eruption at this moment.

Seeing her in this stance, Ji Rui, though puzzled in his heart, didn’t ask much but waved to the sales assistant to push away the filled cart and switch it for an empty one.

He raised his wrist to check the time; it was already past six o’clock. According to this time, it would be quite late when they returned to her place.

While she was carefully selecting pants for Baobao, Ji Rui made a phone call to Xiao Li, asking him to go to Le Tong’s home and bring Baobao out directly to the Dragon Hotel.

After the call, Le Tong had already grabbed several stylish and diverse long and short pants.

"Le Tong, I asked Xiao Li to take Baobao to Dragon Hotel, so we can head straight there later." He pushed the cart leisurely and walked behind her.

Le Tong was a bit surprised, "Going out to eat?"

"Yes, take your time choosing, no rush." Ji Rui rarely showed patience and had a gentle attitude like a gentleman.

The surprise in Le Tong’s eyes grew stronger, just thinking how the supermarket fluorescent light seemed so bright, making this man appear especially dazzling.

"But, for Baobao , is it okay?" Le Tong had a moment of clarity but soon her focus returned to her son.

Ji Rui saw her concern for Baobao’s health, and his gaze became much more tender.

"Didn’t Doctor Dong say so? As long as we pay more attention to food hygiene and the surrounding environment, it’s totally okay to go out now and then. Regarding Dragon Hotel’s hygiene and environment, it should be trustworthy. Besides, you’ve been quite tired these past two months. For the remaining days of this holiday, you should take a break."

As Ji Rui spoke, he moved his hand on the shopping cart, wanting to embrace her frail shoulder.

However, just over half an hour ago, she clearly told him that she hates him!

If he abruptly touched her , it would only make her hate him even more, right?

Thinking of this, the hand that had slightly lifted was brought back and rested obediently on the cart handle.

Le Tong’s surprise was already overflowing. The always self-centered President Ji actually showed considerate kindness in letting her rest?

"All these pants are pretty nice, let’s buy them. Baobao should like them."

Ji Rui saw her just staring at him, without saying anything, leaving the scene a bit awkward, and thus reached out to take the pants from her hand.

"Oh..." Le Tong, still in a daze, obediently handed the pants to him.

Ji Rui picked up the pants and looked at them carefully. His fashion sense was never high, but even so, looking at the trendy pants in his hand, he still felt they matched Baobao’s quirky personality well.

"You have a good eye." Ji Rui genuinely said, putting the pants into the cart.

Le Tong finally came back to her senses, glancing at his perpetually unchanged white shirt and black trousers, she pouted, "Should Baobao be like you, wearing white shirts and black trousers from New Year’s Day to the Eve of the next year?!"

Le Tong turned to look at a male model in the distance wearing a stylish long coat, murmuring softly, "Clearly such a handsome person, yet wasted for nothing."

Ji Rui was still studying those pants, he only heard her first sentence, and didn’t catch the latter low murmur.

"Hmm? What did you say?"

Le Tong’s gaze returned from the tall, thin model, "I didn’t say anything, maybe you have tinnitus?"

Her look, however, was unreservedly scrutinizing Ji Rui from top to bottom. If that carefree and casual outfit worn by the male model were on this man, his street presence would boast an absolute hundred percent head-turn rate.

"Mr. Ji, how tall are you?"

Le Tong always thought Ji Rui was quite tall, but standing in front of him now, constantly looking up at him made her neck feel rather tired.

"One meter ninety." Ji Rui revealed without hiding.

If Le Tong had asked him this a year ago, he would undoubtedly suspect ulterior motives, and naturally, she wouldn’t have received an accurate answer.

But now, no matter what Le Tong asked, he would mostly answer truthfully, and his attitude has become quite friendly.

Though expecting him to be benevolent is impossible, at least his tone is calm and composed, without showing any dissatisfaction or impatience.

Le Tong couldn’t contain her appreciation for the appealing scenario she had imagined just now. She pointed behind, "The clothes on that model, I think would suit you well."

Initially, she couldn’t contain her star-struck disease outbreak moment and boldly fantasized without fearing death, voicing her thoughts. She didn’t expect Ji Rui to really consider her suggestion.

Ji Rui raised his eyes and looked in the direction of her finger.

He saw the male model wearing a casual striped shirt with a thin long coat on top, paired with black jeans and low-top cowboy boots.

"Isn’t that summer wear?"

Le Tong nodded, "Yes, autumn wear. Isn’t autumn coming soon?"

Ever since joining Ji Family, Ji Rui basically bid farewell to jeans and such attire. Now looking at it, he felt a bit strange.

"Do you really think that would suit me?" Ji Rui looked at Le Tong, half-believing, half-doubting.

Le Tong only thought he was casually asking, having no intention of trying it, but she still confidently nodded.

"Yes, I think it suits you very well." Fresh chapters posted on ɴovelfire.net

Obviously only thirty years old, dressed so conservatively like an old man in his forties or fifties.

Le Tong didn’t dare to voice this venomous comment.

Ji Rui scrutinized her for a few seconds, hesitated for a moment, then pushed the shopping cart straight towards that brand counter.

Le Tong, behind him, looking at his back incredulously, was stunned for a while before reacting, realizing this man was seriously going to check it out?

Even though she felt Ji Rui’s change in temperament was indeed quite drastic, Le Tong still quickly chased after that tall figure.
